Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

Lets say you avoid the whole thing and just run up and melee something. Then you have to deal with yet another long standing mechanic Chasing down monsters as a melee to engage them even if you are technically in range. Monsters stand still and roam but nothing is more frustrating than running up to a monster, and it starts roaming and you have to chase it down for like 10 seconds or more until it stops moving to hit it. You can literally be following it almost right on top of it, but for some reason until it stops roaming and moving, no melee hits will go off at all. What is more frustrating even still, is that if you use pets to just assault or attack, they do not have this problem, they can auto attack roaming targets 100% of the time with no problem so why can't melee?

Doubt this is something that can be fixed, this is just server lag. Mobs actually start moving about 2 seconds before it shows up on your screen so if you need to hit them while moving you have to run ahead of them and hope they stay in a straight line. Obviously pet's don't have this issue because they are part of the game.

QoL changes:

1. Please give us a storage slip for Unity gear, Skirmish/Alluvion Skirmish gear, Delve gear, Vagary gear, Incursion gear, and High Tier Battle gear. The Adoulin content can share a slip, unity gets its own and HTB get's its own. Please please please do this.

2. Make Voiddust send Voidstones to the NPC instead of to your KI inventory if we chose the NPC option. At the moment, if we use up all our voidstones, we have to wait for them to refill to use the NPC stock or use Voiddust (which currently only gives us on-hand stones with a limit) which voids (no pun intended) the purpose of the VW update a few months ago.

3. Make the Job master trial entry use JOB POINTS, not Merit points. What a ridiculous decision. Merits are used for so many different things, and Job points, right now, have one use so once you master a job, they are useless. Master Trials were an opportunity to make use of those points but for some strange reason, someone decided that we should get merits. HUH?!

Maybe you should play to the fullest potential of your job instead of dragging down others.

Please explain, sweetie. You're not making any sense.

<stpt> <stal> exist, along with rearranging the party list to prioritize healing those who will get hit with damage/debuffs, which didn't exist when I played healer. Tell me, how do you expect to heal in high level situations when the bosses are capable of removing weapons and shields, removing lockstyle forcibly?

[Cesil]

Hmm still no word on server merges or any qol updates?

[Catmato]

Hmm still no word on server merges

Pretty sure the word on that is "no".

I've never heard of STPT (unless you mean STNPC) but STAL still suffers from blinking so I'm still not getting your point for the rude filth you typed prior.

Yeah...I would love it if the mobs were more melee friendly.

Pretty sure the word on that is "no".

Boo. Did they straight up say no? lol I guess their silence on it is in a way a no as well >.<

File this one under the long list of issues addressed several years too late, if ever.

According to Matsui direct from Freshly Picked Vana'diel #17:

Q: Are there plans to merge servers due to the declining player base?
A: At least until the completion of “Rhapsodies of Vana’diel” in November 2015, there are no plans for merging unless something major comes up. After completion, we do have some plans in the event that players are giving feedback about not being able to form parties and more players voicing their requests for server merges. As far as how we’ll merge, we’ll be looking into how to handle this such as merging two Worlds into one World, or transferring players from one World to a World of their choosing.

Such a small percentage of players take the time to come here to the forums, unfortunately. I did my part to direct those unhappy with the pitifully low population numbers to make their voices heard, but they chose to stay silent, so I wound up making the move from Cerberus to Asura with a couple of close friends not too long ago and wish I had done it sooner.
